Xianyang, which was noisy just now, has become a little calmer.

Everyone was looking at the army in front of them.

Dead and lifeless, like a corpse, emitting a cold air all over.

The most important thing is that all the soldiers' faces seemed to be the same, drowsy and their faces could not be seen clearly.

No one could connect this group of people with the disciplined army just now. A sense of fear emerged in everyone's heart, a sense of fear.

For Wang He and Meng Ao, the smell of these people was not unfamiliar. It was the smell of a dead person, a smell that was extremely unique.

The carriage surrounded by these soldiers seemed to move. Meng Ao and Wang He looked up at the same time, but when they saw that it was not Ying Zheng, they did not shout out the words that were on the tip of their tongues.

But why does this person look so familiar?!

Wang He seemed to have thought of something, and he raised his head again, which should have been lowered, as if he wanted to see the person on the frame clearly through the layers of bloody aura.

Bai Qi looked at Wang He who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, chuckled, and ignored him. He just took out the tiger talisman from his arms and rubbed it gently twice. Then he heard the surrounding soldiers shouting, "Strong wind!" and then he disappeared without a trace.

The whole of Xianyang saw a scene that had never been seen before, and it could be said that they saw a scene that had never been seen even in legends.

Thousands of soldiers were like mirages in the mirror or dust blown by the wind. They disappeared in the blink of an eye and could never be found again.

Even though the soldiers dispersed, the bloody murderous aura on the white-clothed man's face still did not disappear. No matter how carefully Wang He looked, he could not see anything.

A strange feeling of oppression suddenly came over him, forcing Wang He to lower his head.

Bai Qi laughed, his words seemingly normal, yet filled with a murderous aura: "Propagate the emperor's oral order and return to Xianyang."

Just like when Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he verbally ordered his return to Xianyang.

But at that time, Ying Zheng's majesty was so great that it seemed as if the emperor had really descended to the mortal world.

Now, it is like a bunch of evil spirits carrying a Yama and rushing towards the mortal world.

Wang He asked himself, he had never felt such oppression when he worked with Bai Qi, this was oppressing him from the root.

Although he was a fierce general who had fought on the battlefield, he was shocked by the bloodshed on the battlefield. He lowered his head and surrendered.

"Your Majesty, we welcome the Emperor!"

No matter how powerful Ying Zheng was, no matter in what manner Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang, or who he brought back to Xianyang, Wang He and Meng Ao could only bow their heads and welcome him respectfully.

"Your servants respectfully welcome the Emperor!"

The two had already taken the lead, so the soldiers behind them naturally had no reason to remain silent. They all knelt down and chanted, "Welcome to the Emperor!"

The carriage frame moved slowly, and the six divine horses pulling the carriage seemed to have come from the sky, moving steadily without any bumps.

The flag hanging next to the frame fluttered more happily, as if it was making a clamor, clamoring for its own nobility.

…

Things were not so peaceful in the Xianyang Palace.

Queen Dowager Huayang already knew about the commotion outside, after all, all the soldiers in the city were shouting.

The Queen Mother Huayang was relieved at first, thinking that it was someone else who called, until she heard "Welcome the Emperor", she knew that Ying Zheng had returned!

The relief that had been building up again, compared to being attacked by other countries, the return of Ying Zheng seemed to be worse news, at least that was the view of Queen Dowager Huayang.

Everything disappeared.

Both the voice that kept muttering in Queen Dowager Huayang's heart and the courage pushed out by that voice disappeared without a trace.

Her only thought now was how to pretend that this incident had never happened.

The Queen Mother Huayang could not guarantee whether Meng Ao, Wang He and Cai Ze would tell Ying Zheng about what happened in the past few days, and it was even more impossible to guarantee whether Ying Zheng would know what had happened in the past few days.

But what she could guarantee was that Ying Zheng's return would mean that all her opportunities to speak would be interrupted, and it would no longer be possible to place Mi Chen in the court.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Xia requests an audience."

The maid outside was reporting again. Even though Empress Dowager Huayang was extremely nervous now, she naturally couldn't show it since Empress Dowager Xia had arrived.

"Sister, the emperor is back!" Queen Dowager Xia was even more panicked than Queen Dowager Huayang. Although she was Ying Zheng's grandmother, her status in Ying Zheng's heart could not be compared with that of Queen Dowager Huayang.

Not to mention that she also accepted a lot of so-called "loyalty" on behalf of Cheng Jiao when Ying Zheng left Xianyang.

Queen Mother Xia could not imagine what would happen to her if Ying Zheng knew or heard something that should not be spread.

Now her only way to survive is with Queen Dowager Huayang. As long as Queen Dowager Huayang is willing to protect her, she will not be too miserable.

"Isn't the Emperor's return a good thing?" Empress Dowager Huayang suppressed her panic and looked at Empress Dowager Xia with disdain. "Why, sister, do you still not want the Emperor to return?"

How could Queen Mother Xia dare to admit this? Even if she thought so in her heart, how could she admit it?

She quickly denied it with a look of horror, "Sister, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to ask, do you still hold the truth about what I said before?"

The "count" here naturally refers to the promise made by Queen Mother Huayang yesterday.

Queen Mother Huayang sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just kept a calm face and helped Queen Mother Xia, who was kneeling beside her, to her feet. She took Queen Mother Xia's hand and said softly:

"After all, you are the emperor's grandmother. What can we do to you if you make another mistake? You are scaring yourself."

Queen Mother Xia was delighted when she heard this. Queen Mother Huayang's words were not about her relationship with the emperor, but were clearly an indirect acknowledgement that her words were valid.
